My retrofit headlights and switchback turns

Just finished up my retrofit project with switchback LED turn signals. They are white Halos with 6000K Bixenons i wired up the switchbacks to turn on with the fog lights, they light up white until you hit the turn signal then light up amber. Halos are wires to a switched 12V so when the key is on they are always on. here's some pics let me know what you think.

before and after


before moutning back on car


lights off



Halos only



Halos Fogs and LEDs

Switchback turns engaged

pretty much anywhere. got mine off ebay. theyre expensive for turn signals, like $50. but i wanted to get rid of the amber DRL. also you need a resistor to add to the turn signal wire so it doesnt blink crazy fast.

Those are pretty awesome, not sure about the halo's and the switchbacks... kinda looks too busy in my mind. But good work none the less! Did you make them yourself, how much did they cost would you say and what shrouds are you using? FX-R?

I used the stock shroud and housing. if you saw them in person its really not to busy, I tried to leave options open and have lite up what i feel like on that day. Yes i made them myself and all said and done it was about $270 or so for projectors, HIDs, switchbacks, HID fogs, and all the extra electrical stuff. As for the fitment mine fit perfectly and the wiring isn't to bad as long as you place the ballasts and control box in the right spots. there were a couple wires I have to add to to get the right length. And as for night shots I'm at work now and I'm gonna go out in a few seconds hopefully and get some shots.

basically yes. took them completley apart added the projectors and took out the amber glass on the inside. I didnt paint the insides cause even tho it looks good i feel its a bit over done and i like to try to look as stock as possible with my car.

here are the night pics, very blurry and dont do them any justice

Halos and switchbacks


Halo's only, very blurred









the cutoff, im on a slight hill
